Slight bump to top rear cover. Sale writes that, "Human civilisation, particularly that of the West and more particularly still that of the United States, is at a momentous turning point. It is not in simply one or two dimensions that our world is changing, but in all of them, and synergistically. It seems clear that future historians will mark a new age beginning somewhere within our lifetimes. The Question then is: 'What kind of new age will it be?' There are, in truth, only two answers to that. [it could be an age of bigness, the "Technofix era"] continuing certain obvious trends of the present towards large-scale institutions, multinational corporations, centralised governments, high-technology machinery, large cities, high-rise buildings, luxury cars, and all that is implied in the American (and European) ideology of unimpeded growth. The other possibility for the new age to which we are moving lies in exactly the opposite direction: toward the decentralisation of institutions and the devolution of power, with the slow dismantling of all the large-scale systems that in one way or another have created or perpetuated the current crisis, and their replacement by smaller, more controllable, more efficient, people-sized units, rooted in local circumstances and guided by local systems. In short, the human-scale alternative." Sale is Author of nine books, including Human Scale, Dwellers in the Land: The Bioregional Vision, and Rebels Against the Future: The Luddites and Their War on the Industrial Revolution. Kirkpatrick Sale is "a formulator and early proponent of "bioregionalism," a concept developed in his books, lectures, articles, and radio broadcasts that has fueled the growing interest in a local approach to the solving of political, economic, and social problems. A historian, he examines critically the roots of Western European traditions and beliefs, and their consequences in the modern world."
